An alarming, and startling, surprise
A Phone Call Opens your eyes
Quiet words carry news of despair
Don't worry, we'll find the best care
We will all stand by you unwavering, Strong and Unshakeable
When’s the time to be scared or be brave
What decides who's life will be saved
Hold her hand to keep strength and keep will
Calm the nerves that will otherwise kill
And you'll see him holding a bright star, guiding silently.
In silver lining, as your spirit fades,
the hardest part, is remembering, that there will be
Shining silver pearls, banners and fireflies, by a host delivered
When you are free, we will all forget what a trying road it was
Echoing applause, candy and cavalcades beside flowing rivers
When you are free, we will all believe someone's watching over us.
In the hour a plan will be made
A blueprint with steps displayed
We will all form a wall on the line
Build defenses, an army in kind
And we’ll stand tall guarding a loved one, a force impregnable
In silver lining, as your spirit fades,
the hardest part, is remembering, that there will be
Shining silver pearls, banners and fireflies, by a host delivered
When you are free, we will all forget what a trying road it was
Echoing applause, candy and cavalcades beside flowing rivers
When you are free, we will all believe someone's watching over us.
If you can fight through the clouded night
If you can handle the storm,
Then we will go on
with you in our minds,
we will go on, with you in our memories
If you can fight through the clouded night
If you can handle the storm,
Then we will go on
with you in our minds,
we will go on, with you in our memories
